Apple 6: Fuji

This post is a day late due to yesterday's jam-packed schedule, but I promised one very special birthday girl the honor of selecting today's apple, so Jackie, let's go to Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuji!

Taste: Most of the other apples I've tried so far have had distinct sweet and sour flavors, but the Fuj has a deeper layer of flavor. Unfortunately I can't say I enjoy the lingering taste...it's too reminiscent of a strong cheese. Maybe it would pair well with a gruyere fondue though? Hey look at me, trying to pretend like I know what I'm talking about.

Texture: Slightly soft, fibrous, and strangely dry in the late chewing stages (ex: at first it seems normal and juicy but by the time you swallow, you almost need to wash it down). 

Price: $1.39/lb.

Attractiveness: Hottie with a body. 

Rating: All things considered, the Fuji was pretty disappointing. I have mindlessly snacked on this before, but I think it'll be hard to go back now after really thinking about all the flavors. Sorry Jackie, but your Golden Birthday apple only gets 5 seeds!
